Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018192824A1] The present invention provides a mixing apparatus (10) for preparing mortar comprising a screw conveyor (20) for conveying dry material, such as a mixture of sand and cement, from a storage vessel (2) to a mixing chamber (30), said mixing chamber (30) having an inlet end (35), adapted to receive dry material from an outlet end of said screw conveyor (20), an outlet end (36) for dispensing wet mortar, and a water feed (39) intermediate said inlet and outlet ends for delivering a metered flow or quantity of water into the mixing chamber (30), mixing means (40) being provided within said mixing chamber (30) for mixing said dry material and water and for controlling the passage of material from said inlet to said outlet end (36) of the mixing chamber (30), wherein said outlet end of said screw conveyor (20) is located above said inlet end of said mixing chamber (30) such that dry material falls from the outlet end of the screw conveyor (20) into the mixing chamber (30) under gravity. As such, separation is maintained between the dry material in the screw conveyor (20) and the wet material in the mixing chamber (30).
